MTV GHOSTED: LOVE GONE MISSING - SEASON ONE

My guilty pleasure: a weekly fix of trashy TV, whilst Catfish is on hiatus. Wouldn't recommend but also wouldn't miss.

PRISON BREAK - SEASON THREE

By this point the plot has dipped from daft to downright hilarious and while there's still fun to be had, any semblance of story has long since flown the coop.

TRUE LIFE CRIME - SEASON ONE

True Life Crime follows journalist and MTV News host Dometi Pongo as he investigates crimes committed against young people, seeking to answer haunting questions and expose the truth. If you want to witness the in-depth investigations behind real-life mysteries, this is the show for you.

THE ACT - SEASON ONE

The way the story is presented makes it easy to view it as a drama, and see how the events unfold, and with the amazing performances of Joey King and Patricia Arquette, it's set up to be a very addictive series.

DRACULA - SEASON ONE

EP1: 5 Stars
EP2: 4 Stars
EP3: -4 Stars
Count Dracula and Bram Stoker deserved far better than this waste of potential that possessed so little ambition that one can't help but wonder why it was made in the first place other than to bank on a familiar IP that's in the public domain.

TRINKETS - SEASON ONE

As a story about three high-school girls who become unlikely friends, who are allies in a way that's both supportive and a little destructive, Trinkets is a solid teen show.

THE BOYS - SEASON ONE

The Boys is an expert deconstruction of superhero stories, with an appropriately wintery view of institutional power, be it corporate, governmental, religious, or caped. This ultra-violent dark satire flips the script on our preconceived idealistic notions of what a superhero show should be.

HIS DARK MATERIALS - SEASON ONE

His Dark Materials remains a world worth exploring, but whether you're comparing it to the source material or coming to it fresh, this series is weak tea. While the visuals did take you into a grand and glossy another world and the actors slid into their roles as evil aunties and absentee uncles with ease, it failed to be more than the superficial sum of its parts.

MY FIRST FIRST LOVE - SEASON ONE

This is a simple coming of age series that focuses on relationships. The key for me to like a drama like this is to really like the characters enough that I feel invested in their lives. Luckily, the drama sets up everything wonderfully as it introduces us to the characters, and we quickly learn their back stories and their relationship dynamics. I was already feeling for them in the first episode and was interested to see how all of the love lines and friendships played out.

COLONY - SEASON ONE


This is the day after tomorrow, with the pop culture of our present and past still lingering in the background and armed drones patrolling the streets like big brother.
